Taylors Hill Neighbourhood Guide
Galway
About Taylors Hill
Taylors Hill is an established, largely residential area on Galway city’s west side, between Rahoon and Salthill, with a settled suburban feel and convenient access to the city centre. Housing ranges from mature estates and detached homes to apartments, and the area is popular with families, professionals and students because schools, services and the coast are all close by. Nearby education includes Scoil Bhríde, Taylor's Hill Secondary School and Salerno Secondary School, while University of Galway and its adjacent research and medical facilities are within straightforward reach. Regular Galway city bus services operate along the main routes towards Eyre Square, Salthill and Rahoon, while the city centre is also accessible by bicycle or on foot for many residents. Everyday shopping is available in nearby Westside and Newcastle, with larger retail provision at Galway Shopping Centre and in the city centre. Salthill adds a broad choice of cafés, restaurants, pubs and seaside leisure, including the Promenade, while Taylors Hill itself remains quieter and mainly residential. Parks, sports facilities and community amenities are close at hand, and landmarks such as Galway Cathedral, the Spanish Arch and the University campus are within a short journey.
